Legislative Summary.

In the Council the bill repeating bounties for the scalps of wild ani- mals has passed; also the Code Commission bills concerning title to personal property in certain cases and the act concerning juries and jurors. Iii the House Scott introduced a bill regulating the ap- pointments by the Governor, and providing that no member Of the Legislature shall be appointed to office while member of such body. Andrews introduced bill regula- ting freight and fares and prohit- ing discrimination. Adamson in- troduced a bill concerning the County and Probate Courts, abol- ishing the County Courts and re- establishing the Probate Courts as before existing. Leatherwood pre- sentcd bill relating to jurors, giv- ing the Judge of courts the right to summon grand and petty jurors for all the counties in his district. The House passed the Council memo rial asking Congress to cede Gov ernment lands to the Territory so that the same may be offered for the sinking of artesian wells. Ming of Graham gave notice of a bill to make a new county from Graham and Cochise.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-02-10

IT LOOKS as though section nine of the organic act would cover the bill introduced by Mir. Scott( which will be found in another column regulating the appointments by the Governor, and if so, the organic act is certainly preferable to any bills bearing upon this subject that could be introduced or passed by the Legislative Assembly. The in- troduction of this bill shows, at least, a willingness on the part of Mir. Scott to introduce something. The following is a portion of the section above referred to:
 And be it further enacted, That no member of the Legislative As sembly shall hold or be appointed to any office which shall have been created, or the salary or emolu- mcnts of which shall have been in- creased, while he was a member, during the term for which he was elected, and for one year after the expiration of such term.

WERE the Critic guided by its epitaph, which must have been the outcome of a slecI,less night, it's at temFts at criticisms might be re- tivei by the people as an evidence ,f good faith and we wish it were 50. Grievances wrought by viola ton of law, should be hecded-of- !icers acting i'll violation of law, should be censured, both by law and the press-this is what the HERALD Is maintaining.
 Grievances, the outcroppings of personal matters. should not affect d public officer or officers-if he discharges the duties of his office, he complies with the laws govern ing it, and the demande of the peo- ple. His efficiency is not to be based on whether the Critic likes Jim, ar whether somebody else likes him.
 The Critic was conceived and has 50 far lived in grievance, but we have failed to note any violation of law as their cause. His tirades are only upon those he personally dis likes, and when he shows us one man he has otherwise criticised, then the people will believe his grievances to be caused by viola ton of law and set forth in com mon sense features.
 We care not who writes for the Critic, nor do we care for the ad- verse criticisms they make of the official acts of county officers, nor do we presume the officers care themselves, as they are guided by law, and when they have done this they care not for what the Critic or any one else may say. It Is the county that suffers by having its administration mistrusted and look ed upon as being deficient and dis honest. We believe the Critic has done more to cripple the credit of the county and depreciate the value of her warrants by its base tirades upon county officials than any other cause or causes.
 The object of the HERALD is to counteract as far as possible this mistrust which the Critic would in spire in our officials. There can be no hope of a success with q mis- trusted administration. The Critic may call it "stuff," but it is written in the interest of the people and we are not afraid but they will appre- ciate it.

WE would like to ask Judge Carr what Apache county has to do with criminals Or with crimes commit ted,in Flagstaff. We have always thought that village was in Yava- pai, but Judge Carr appears to think different. There must be considerable back taxes due this county from the denizens of that mountain town, and we call the at tention of our officials to the fact, that they may take the necessary steps to collect them.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-02-10

TIE Hoof and Horn says bills have been Introduced in the Legis- lature providing for the creation of a new county, to be known as Fris- co county, from the eastern portion of Yavapai'and western portion ot Apache, and also to annex to Gila county all that portion of Tonto Basin in Yavapai county. There is but little chance for any of the
 measures to become laws, but if they do, Yavapai county will lose its most valuable grazing grounds.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-02-10

WE see it stated in some of our exchanges that the suggestion of Major Warren in regard to starting q slaughter house and stock yards at Flagstaff has created some con- siderable talk. The HERALD sug- gested this place as a good point for such plant some months since.

THE Critic says MT. Carr has fur nished facts and figures to show how the county can be run cheaper. We do rot remember to have miss ed receiving a copy of that paper, but suppose We have, for we have never seen any such article from the pen of Bro. Carr.

AMONG the list of grand jurors drawn, we notice the name of k. k. Carr. We believe that it comes within the province ot that body to investigate county affairs, and the people will naturally expect great things from this grand jury, from the fact that the astute financier, E.. R. Carr, is member Of that body. Look out for some racy de- velopments about the last of this month in regard to the woful ex- trayagance of our officials.

and are of no use except to pay taxes. We would like Bro. Carr to inform us in what portion of our county Supervisors Rope and Rich ards live. We have been laburing under the impression they lived within the boundaries of the pro- posed new county, as outlined in the Critic short time since, but suppose, after this statement of Mir. Carr's that we have had their residence located wrong, ani that they either live in St. Johns or the southern end of the county. We were of the belief also that the eu- tire delegation, who arc misrepre- senting Us in the present Tcrrito- rial Legislature. lived in the pro posed boundary of the new rounty. If we are rigli. in this matter that end of the county has all our leg islators, and two out of three of the Supervisors. What more, in the name of common justice and common sense, can they ask? We have not accused Bro. Carr of in- sanity, that we are aware of, but after his making such assertions as the above, with the well-known facts to the contrary staring him in the face, we will leave our readers to judge of his sanity or insanity.

IT seems to the HERALD a light thing that a portion of the county be a long time taxed without any voice in the county affairs. ."-E. R. Carr in Holhrouk Critic.
 It would seem from this that the western part of the county Is en- tirely ignored-ostracised, so to speak-no share or benefit of the county s administration-thev have no roads or bridges, no public buildings, and with the least possi- ble protection from the courts of justice. They are only to be taxed, and beyond this they are not rec ognized. What a sad picture this imparts to an ostracised orphan who has no voice in county affairs, put who has the councilman, the two assemblvmen and two out of three of the Board of Supervisors. What a deplorable condition of at fairs 1t must be for section of a county to have these, the most i'm portant offices i'll a county, and then have no voice in county affairs not even recognized except to be taxed. We are sorry that the off, cers in the county's administration from this section are incapable of representing their people and giving them a voice in our affairs.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-02-10

JUDGE CARR says in his last ram bling epistle to the Critic that they have no voice in county matters,
The St. Johns herald., 1887-02-10

IT IS understood that at an early day q bill will be introduced into the council or house providing for the removal of county seats. Such an act will be specially acceptable to Apache county. There is gen eral wish to remove the county seat of Apache from St. Johns to Hol- brook, and the heavy taxpayers are strongly in favor of such removal Aside from the fact that ilolbrook possesses railway and telegraph ta cilities, the atmosphere of 1t. Johns does not seem to have that purity which should be fouTd around a county scat.-Eagstaff Champion.
 The Champion is off its cabeza by large majority. We would like to learn how that paper got its information as to the general wish" portion of its paragraph. If a bill is passed to change county seats it will have to be submitted back to the people, and the Champion will then be astonished to see how small it's general wish" has become. There are d few soreheads in the county, who do not like St. Johns, but they would become dissatisfied with Heaven, if they were there, unless the good Lord would let them rule the roost."

A BLOODY ROW.
A Third ward Dive the Scene OF q San
culinary Fight.

culinary Fight.
At about O'Clock yesterday afternoon
fray occurred in Joe Pope's saloon,
colored dive at the corner of Twelfth and
Rusk, that was of rather more desperate
character than the usual sort of melee
that the halfacre denizens indulge
in. The principals were all negroes,
two, q father and son PANIED Davis, and
the third one Bill Love, one of the best
Known darkies in the city, the keeper of
boardinghou5e on Thirteenth and Cal
houn. Love is heavy set, powerfully
built man, an active worker in local
elections, and though not aggressive is a
dangerous antagonist when provoked.
Deputy City Marshal Charley
Scott was the Innocent cause
of the STRAY. Nelson Davis
the Tounger Of the men happened to
Jtice Scott while the latter was passing
and made a very uncomplimentary re-
mark about the officer. Bill Love, who
/ Is an intense admirer of the popular
deputy, heard the remark and resented
| il in emphatic language. This led to g
/ violent dispute that finally brought on the
| battle It could not be aScertained who
struck the first blow, but it is certain
that Goth the DaVises pitched into Love,
who, reckless of the odds, fought them
with the ferocity of tiger. In the game
that ensued the spectators 'did not take
hand" and the fight was still furious
wnen Officers Presley, Bell and Taylor
ran in ami pulled the belligerents asunder.
Two OF the men were found to be pretty
seriously hurt, the younger Davis and
Love. The former had deep
cash in mis- neck, on the inner
side of the right tonsil, which grazing
/ tie large blood vessels, lacked but little
OF going entirely through. The wound
bl, copious|y and the hurt man spat up
a great deal OF blood. It is liable to give
! IN a great deal Of trouble. The instrU-
ment that did the damage was a large
meat knife, taken away from Love, one
side saw the other keen as razor.
Love himself was badly cut on the
right side OF the head, but his worst
wound was to the lett hand, the
thumb of which was badly disIocated
and may have to be cut off.
He and Nelson Davis were taken to their
romes and their injuries attended to.
The elder Davis had some pretty bad
bruises on the head and arm, but none Of
them serious All of them were arrested
and placed under bond.
